Would have been five stars if not for that

unnecessarily traumatic pregnancy side plot.

But I really loved this book, the best in the series so far in my opinion.

This book has my whole entire heart. As someone who’s endured the struggles and triumphs of depression, anxiety and PTSD for over 10 years now, this book shot me back in time and reminded me how entirely strong I am for enduring. The character development, the inspirational moments and conversations between oneself, friends, family, and lover were all so well done. I will forever have a special place in my heart for this book, and for Nesta Archeron. <3

The spicy scenes were great - and, not gonna lie, that's the entire reason I read this book bc I didn't like ACOTAR that much. I have some qualms with a lot of the rest of the story. The Valkyries were an unexpected and welcomed surprise.

i’ve never cried at a book before, but silver flames really did it for me. i see so much of myself in nesta, in how she carries herself and how she heals throughout the book. her earlier character traits in the series reminds me so much of me before therapy, and this book reminds me so much of my own recovery—of learning that i am deserving of love and support and forgiveness. mist and fury was definitely my favorite of the series, but i have to give this five stars because of what it made me feel. nesta archeron you are so special to me!!!

My least favorite of the series but still have to give it five stars cause it is still very good, had some complaints on this one but enjoyed the character development and inspiration side of it, definitely looking forward to future books to get more of a story closure.

Just looking for a more complete ending but hopefully not the last book, still would give five stars as a series but found this one my least favorite, very inspiring and good development enjoyed the story, just thought some was unrealistic and unfinished
